The chart, fact by fact
Planets
What’s this?Close
The ten bodies astrology reads: the Sun, the Moon and eight planets. The planet says which part of a person it speaks for, the sign says how that part behaves, and the house says where in life it shows.
Sun in Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
27°17′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 2:52 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
5°37′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
16°01′
Venus in Capricorn
The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.
5°25′

Beyond the planets
What’s this?Close
Points read beside the planets. The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign coming up over the eastern horizon at the minute of birth: the first impression. The Midheaven is the highest point of the sky: career and public life. The North Node is where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s: the direction a life grows in. Chiron, a small body between Saturn and Uranus, is a lifelong sore spot and the gift it leaves for others. Black Moon Lilith, where the Moon’s orbit swings farthest from Earth, is what a person keeps untamed.
North Node in Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
0°28′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
5°53′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
20°09′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his identity, his heart and his optimism (the Sun, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Aspects by strength
What’s this?Close
An aspect is a set angle between two bodies in the sky at birth. Some angles flow, some rub, and some fuse two bodies into one. The number is how far the angle is from exact: the smaller it is, the stronger the link.
Only the aspects that held from the first minute of the day to the last are shown; each figure is for noon.
Venus trine Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
The Sun quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Moon trine Venus almost exact at 0.2°
He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
Mercury opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
The Moon conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
